Price to sell the waterbox set up?

My daughter will graduate this June with an oceanography degree, but the poor kid has never had her own reef tank!! She has a few freshwater nanos that she adores. For her grad present, I’m thinking of a beginner reef set-up. She will be a renter, so it needs to be smaller sized. And I’m buying it, so hopefully $500-ish tops in price. 😉 I’m thinking of the 20 cube all-in-one design from Waterbox with an AI prime light. Salt, sand, heater, refractometer and a few pumps. I’m thinking I’ll hold off on a skimmer for now. Also not sure she will be able to have an ro/di where ever she rents - might have to rely on toting RO from the grocery store.... Is this a decent plan? Any other thoughts or other tanks/lighting I should consider? I really like the all-in-ones for simplicity..... Thanks!! Beth.

I would appreciate some help. I have been in the hobby for a long number of years, but I am a very firm follower of the KISS method (Keep It Simple, Stupid); in addition I am technologically challenged and not good with power tools. So...…. I am in need of new lighting for my very simple 40 breeder - mostly softies, zoas, RBTAs and a few lps. I have NO interest in sps; they are just not my thing. So I don't need super-fantastic lights by any means. I would like some kind of LED fixture(s). Preferably in the $200-$400 range total (including any potential mounting brackets that might be needed). My requirements are that it must be super simple to set up - both physically and technically. I really don't want a complicated light that I have to program; I would prefer to plug it in and turn it on, as easy as that. And I would really prefer simple & easy mounting brackets; I do not want any kind of hanging lights. So what are your thoughts on simple to program & install LED units for my pretty basic 40 breeder mixed reef? Thank you! Beth.

I am looking for some pink Pom Pom Xenia. Preferably around Longview/Kelso, but willing to travel. also interested in other softies, zoas, and lps.

I am interested, but I may have to pass at this time. You are pretty far away from me - I am an hour and a half north of Portland. Plus, the earliest that I could get them would be next weekend. But if you do not have any other takers by then, maybe I will decide to make the trip to get them......

I am looking for a pair! Where are you located?

Also interested in the alk checker.

I am looking for 40-50 pounds of rock and possibly a vortech - if you decide to break it up, please let me know!

Starting up again after a break of a few years. Have my 40 breeder up and running with sand and just a few small rocks. I am looking for enough liverock to fill it - 40-50+ pounds. Preferably in Longview/Kelso/Vancouver areas..... Thanks ~

Took a break for a few years and coming back into the hobby... so I am not familiar with all the new products on the market. I have a 40 breeder, softies & LPS only. I am looking for a HOB skimmer - I currently have an AquaC Remora and looking for something that is hopefully better. I am looking specifically for 2 things: -- Something that will skim the surface -- Bonus for a skimmer with an external pump I am looking at the Reef Octopus Classic 1000 HOB. I love the external pump. And it has a surface skimmer. Thoughts on this one, or suggestions for something different? Thanks!

Do you have a stand for the 40 breeder?

Or everything but the skimmer?

Will you separate? Possibly interested in only the tank & the stand.......

Thank you - I will keep that in mind in case I cannot find a 30" unit, or if I decide to go with a smaller tank. Curious - would the 6 bulb unit still operate with only 4 bulbs in it??

I would like to return to the hobby in a small way -- thinking of setting up a 20 long. Looking for a 30" light - preferably a 4 bulb t5, but I am open to other possibilities. Also let me know if you have a 30" stand or a 20 long available. Thanks, Beth.
